or Venmo. - Runners will be scheduled into flights of similar ages to complete their choice of 1, 2 or 4 laps around the track. (1 lap = ¼ mile or 400 meters) Laps are not timed. This is not a competition for placement, just completion.
- Each runner will be announced before their flight, will receive a runners’ bib and an honorary medal. They will pose for a quick post-run photo with the torch after they complete their lap(s).
